To The End of the Land

Extraordinary, impassioned… To the End of the Land is without question one of the most powerful and moving novels I have ever read – Jacqueline Rose * Guardian *It is tricky to set out the scale of Grossman’s achievement without resorting to reviewers’ clichés. He has aimed as high as it is possible to do in a novel which deals with the great questions of love, intimacy, war, memory and fear of personal and national annihilation-and has overwhelmingly achieved everything. – Linda Grant * Independent *This is a great novel, a rare example of a book that lives up to its billing, its emotional depth and humanity balanced by formidable formal control and pacing of the chronological sequence, the text rendered into an English that mostly finds the cadence and associative range of the original Hebrew… To The End Of The Land is, quite literally, unforgettable – Brian Morton * Sunday Herald *This is a book of overwhelming power and intensity, David Grossman’s masterpiece. Flaubert created his Emma, Tolstoy made his Anna, and now we have Grossman’s Ora - as fully alive, as fully embodied, as any character in recent fiction. I devoured this long novel in a feverish trance. Wrenching, beautiful, unforgettable – Paul AusterThere are some writers in whose words one recognizes the texture of life. David Grossman is such a writer. He is a master of the emotionally accurate and significant. His characters don’t so much lie on the page as rise before the reader’s eyes, in three dimensions, their skin covered in prose that both stabs with insight and shines with compassion – Yann MartelGrossman’s use of language - emotive, poignant, sometimes bewitching - draws the reader in and Ora becomes a truly sympathetic character. An eloquent and captivating read, and quite possibly a landmark novel in Israeli fiction. – Danielle Goldstein * Timeout *Very rarely, a few times in a lifetime, you open a book and when you close it again nothing can ever be the same. To the End of the Land is a book of this magnitude. David Grossman may be the most gifted writer I’ve ever read. To read it is to have yourself taken apart, undone, touched at the place of your own essence; it is to be turned back, as if after a long absence, into a human being – Nicole KraussHoneyed and portentous, rhythmic and often breathless, the prose sweeps the reader into a pool of shimmering reflection – Toby Lichtig * Times Literary Supplement *Grossman’s account of Ora and Avram’s lengthening flight from their painful lives is a tour de force. – Jonathan Mirsky * Spectator *David Grossman explores how words illuminate the darkest landscapes and how lives can be shaped and preserved through stories – Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail *
